"Ok, first of all "5" is just the default value for the final/retail alfa awus036h. other rtl8187L devices got different default values. the awus036h prototype got a default of "7", the new alfa usb stick is set to 10 and another rtl8187L device got "9" as default."

so????

what is the max trxpowersetting for the alfa usbstick without harming ?

As power increases, if your antenna is not properly tuned to your transmitter, your SWR increases as well. An SWR of 3 is very bad, and can damage the unit.

Since all these things are mass produced, chances of the antenna being properly tuned to the variances in transmitters is not very good. So chances are, right out of the box, you'd probably have an SWR of 1.5 and standard output power (this is a guess, and that SWR is in acceptable ranges for the normal person, only neurotics like myself try to get the 1.1). The more output power you transmit the better you want to tune your antenna.

thx for the fast answer
but i cant wasting my time reading that text :C
its all about unknown language ggg
did someone understand that sh... ?
do i have to study informatics to understand that site ?
so what iam supposed to do?
just leaving the default setting?
where can i find that swr ?
is there any command that will show me my swr?
sorry i f that sounds a little nooblike,but maybe iam

That is ungodly hard to read. I think Streaker was just saying leave it at it's default levels until you know a little more about wifi.

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Yeah, I guess that was the basis of my post.

ok
figured it out
but why is the highpower option available although its not working yet
or although its to danger to set it ?
there must be any reasons

It isn't a matter of the highpower not working, it will work, under perfect conditions. But since perfect conditions are hard to come by in consumer grade gear, chances are, going to a higher power is going to damage the equipment.

mmm
k,understand
so what are the perfect conditions ?
do i have to surf next to the station?
do i have to have nothing between me and the target?
or what?
i dont really understand "perfect conditions"
some specific hardware needed?
or what?
please,dont get sick of that questions gg
but iam just looking for the best way to use the alfa

Perfect conditions would mean having a near perfect SWR, and generally the closest you can ever get to that is 1.1:1. But consumer grade electronics is made so poorly that the chances of you achieving that is slim to nil. That is why they advise putting more power out, because it's tough to get an antenna that's going to have a low enough SWR.

I don't think I can explain it any more simply than that. You'll just have to take my word for it, or not, and hook something up, but remember, electronics works because of magic blue smoke, and when you release the magic blue smoke, electronics, no longer works.
